rammieib Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This is Cocu football. I hate to say it but Morrison, Thompson and Bird is too attack shy. We spend far too much effort in trying to retain position in the middle third than worrying about attacking. Imagine being a Coventry CB today - three of them and their playing CKR. You’re really not going to worry about a ball in behind you are you? The centre backs only threat was Dabo at left back. I take one positive from this and that is Rooney will hopefully have learnt this combination of players just isn’t good enough.

taggy180 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 We were to relient on ebosele and forsyth creating chances from out wide, a frustrating game when our keeper didn't make a save. Oh and we aint got a game on 5th February now Huddersfield are through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the end of the world but I find it always slightly more disappointing to have a cup defeat. A league defeat you can always go again the next match.

Gone Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 If Festy can start producing the final ball (shot, pass, cross etc) then we have a wonderful talent on our hands. Shame about today, thought we played well and didn’t deserve to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping possession but no real threat is not an excellent performance.

I think Bird and Thompson are fine in the right set up as they’ve proved recently. Todays set up was back to the poor start of season days. Back then we learned: - Morrison isn’t a starter and can seriously unbalance the side. - If you play CKR you need runners/movement around him and getting beyond him. - Lawrence and Morrison can’t play in the same team (look how Lawrence’s form collapses) - We can play infront of teams all we like, but if you don’t break through them you’re going to lose. Today we picked our strongest defence and midfield and then completely blunted them with our poor attacking selections! rammieib, RadioactiveWaste, Ram Logan Josh and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just an observation concerning "our" fans not arsed being knocked out of the FA Cup, It would seem that a lot of fans today can't be arsed about their club being knocked out of the FA Cup...7304 at Bristol City, Sky Sports taking the mick out of WBA as Jeff can't see their fans. Has the Cup lost it's sparkle? It lost it 10+ years ago imo when United got a bye in the 3rd round when playing the World Championship Final, No replays, Penalties after extra time because of fears that a fixture backlog due to Covid, It's becoming an inconvenience for many.

We spend far too much effort in trying to retain position in the middle third than worrying about attacking. But it’s been clear for weeks that the more attack minded midfield options we have in the 23s are seen as a bit of a liability in this current system.

It is and such a shame. In the good old days if you happened to play the same team on the Wednesday in the league and then on the Saturday in the Cup, there would be a bigger attendance and excitement at the cup game. Since the Premier League and Champions League it has become pretty much an irrelevance with reserve sides and poor attendances ?
